Your Virginity is Mine ~My Childhood Friend is Bullying Me Sexually~
Like others said, this was pretty predictable and boring. Sure, it had a lot of smut scenes, but I think that was all there was to it. It did have its moments, though, where I laughed because of how ridiculous the story was. But I did like the art. If you’re bored and have nothing else to do with your life, I guess you could say this a solid time waster. 6/10
My X Best Friend
In all honesty, this felt cut short. It’s cute if you look at it from far enough, but I truly think this was meant to be a longer story, especially if we consider Hyukjae. I liked the childhood friends to lovers trope, but so many of my questions were left unanswered. Hyukjae is a green flag until you realize you’ve been colorblind the whole time. He was obsessive and manipulative, but that made him quite interesting. Suwoo was just your average easily trusting, dense guy. I really wonder what could’ve happened next. But anyway, I really liked the unique art style! It was so prettyyy. 7/10 Update: The extras didn’t do much to add to the ML’s character, but it did add insight to their life after. It wasn’t as heavy as I expected. 7.5/10
Futarikkiri no Oishii Ojikan
Refreshing read. Liked how it didn’t have any dramatic, toxic turns. Just unadulterated love. Love manifesting in such a way that you’re willing to listen to your S.O. rant on end, haha.
Kyuuso Inu wo Kame
3 ATS *sigh* Why’d he have to rape him though? The ML? I can see the plot coming from a mile away. Predictable. The author just doesn’t know how to write rape. It’s used as this sexy plot device instead of the trauma-inducing act it actually is. But at least it has delinquents?
Osananajimi Dakedo Seiteki ni Suki desu.
help this was a really fun read. and that plot twist! i just love two idiots in love lmao 3
Shiba wa Kyou mo Baka!
Goodness, this was really cute. When an unrequited love becomes requited! I’m a sucker for the childhood friends trope, so it’s only natural that I loved this! It was nice that their friends were accepting of Shiba showing interest in a guy. I liked their characters and how they seemed to know the other’s wants and needs in terms of a relationship. Perks of knowing each other practically since you were born lmao. This was also just really funny, and I desperately need more established relationship fluff.
Daiji na Koto na no de, Nido.
Eh this was okay. I don’t know if it’s because it was unique, but I liked the confession scene. The ML dressed up, hid his identity, and did it with his friend, thinking he wouldn’t recognize him. But the MC did of course! And the rest is history. I liked this a little more because the ML looked like Kurapika haha.
Tonari no Usotsuki (Suzaka Shina)
This is just too lovely, man. Both the leads have their own issues. The MC has internalized homophobia, and the ML’s ex cheated on him. I think it’s quite realistic in that the MC is a “dishonest” man, who chooses to hide his real self in the pretense of a heteronormative “happy ever after.” I loved his growth as a character (plus the ML was so cute). Just wish we had more established relationship fluff. ;-; 9/10
